European clubs should not be afraid of a player exodus to Saudi Arabia, UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin said on Sunday, suggesting the country was making a mistake investing in stars at the end of their careers.Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema have been paid record-high contracts to join Saudi Arabian clubs this year, with similar offers were made to Lionel Messi and Luka Modric.

With David Peralta and Chris Taylor both leaving last night's loss with injuries and six pitchers being needed out of the bullpen after Emmet Sheehan's 6 no-hit innings, there's been some more movement on the Dodgers roster.Bryan Hudson, signed as a minor league free agent this winter after eight years in the Cubs organization, joins the bullpen.

The Dodgers were four innings away from a fourth straight series loss at the hands of the (at the time) nine-games-under-.500White Sox, but a Chris Taylor grand slam gave the Dodgers life.The struggling Dodger bullpen stepped up with six scoreless frames after another rough Michael Grove outing, and kept the game tied into the 11th inning for a pair of walks and a Freddie Freeman single ended the game.

The government has asked for - and Trump and Walt Nauta's lawyers have not objected - to a protective order in the stolen documents case.That's utterly routine - though sometimes there is a stink about the terms of a protective order, which didn't happen here.The actual protective order itself does not include extra restrictions to prevent Trump from tweeting shit out - as his Alvin Bragg protective order did - but it does require the defense to make everyone who reviews discovery to sign a protective order as well (sometimes defendants unsuccessfully object to this on Sixth Amendment grounds because it provides a way to track a defendant's own investigation).

Man United are contemplating making their move to sign Andre Onana.Manchester United's goalkeeper situation is interesting, to say the least.The Old Trafford side have offered David de Gea a new deal, which has been agreed to in principle, though not yet signed.The Spaniard becomes a free agent at the end of the month, making this a real priority for the Red Devils.

When I asked ChatGPT to name the editor in chief of Spektrum der Wissenschaft, the German-language sister publication of Scientific American, the answer was, I have the latest information until 2021, and at that time Dr. Florian Freistetter was the editor-in-chief of Spektrum der Wissenschaft.However, it is possible that the information has changed since then.

Liverpool made a late season surge to briefly flirt with the Top 4 before ultimately settling for 5th and Europa League football.Throughout the up-and-down campaign, it was clear the vaunted Reds defense from years past was beginning to wobble.If it wasn't for the heroics of Alisson in goal, my player of the season, a 5th place finish would have been a pipe dream.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was built primarily to transform our understanding of the early universe.Less than a year after it was switched on, it is delivering, finding galaxies earlier in the universe than any seen before.Yet the telescope has another, less publicized goal in probing those earliest moments after the big bang 13.8 billion years ago.

The promoter of the Isle of Wight Festival said he is blessed to continue hosting the extraordinary music event 21 years on.John Giddings, who reinstated the festival in 2002 during the Queen's Golden Jubilee, compared the Isle of Wight to the Woodstock Festival in New York.I'm just really blessed.I never would have started a festival if it wasn't the Isle of Wight because I was here in 1970 and it was an iconic name, it was the Woodstock of Europe, Mr Giddings told the PA news agency.

Recently I reread C.S. Lewis's 1945 novel, That Hideous Strength, the last book in his Space Trilogy, and since I wrote about aliens last weekend it seems like a good week to talk a little bit about the novel's contemporary relevance.For those who haven't read it, the book is a curious hybrid, mixing the anti-totalitarian style of dystopia familiar from Lewis's contemporaries like George Orwell and Aldous Huxley with a blend of supernaturalism and science fiction that anticipates Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time, among other works.

Recently, a surprising name popped up in a Washingtonian editor's inbox.It was none other than America's biggest pop star, Taylor Swift.Even more unexpectedly, the email concerned working conditions for staffers on Capitol Hill.Obviously, we were curious to hear the singer's thoughts on this, so we decided to call her up.

The Nuggets were the better side than the Lakers in the playoffs this year.They were the best team in the league.No one is arguing that, particularly no one in purple and gold.The nature with which Denver won in the Western Conference Finals via a sweep pretty much erased any doubt about who deserved to be in the Finals.

The New York Times is out with a long, interesting, piece on SDFL Judge Aileen M. Cannon by Schmidt and Savage.I won't call it a hit piece, but it is extremely negatively framed, and in some regards disingenuously so.For a news article, there is no way not to view it as a position piece."Aileen M. Cannon, the Federal District Court judge assigned to preside over former President Donald J. Trump's classified documents case, has scant experience running criminal trials, calling into question her readiness to handle what is likely to be an extraordinarily complex and high-profile courtroom clash.

It's insanely cool to see the San Francisco Giants reach down into their farm system and pull out exciting prospects.That was never a guarantee no matter who took over after Bobby Evans and a concept that was implausible as recently as mid-April.Luis Matos??In this economy??And after Casey Schmitt?AFTER PATRICK BAILEY???
